This was built as a private Jewish girls’ school by the architect Alexander Beer. In 1930 the Jewish Elementary School for Girls (ages 6-13) moved in, and taught underprivileged girls as well as orphans from the adjacent children’s home. On June 30, 1942, all Jewish schools were closed by the Nazis.

In the 1950s the building reopened as a the Bertolt-Brecht-Oberschule.

After The Wall fell, the building was returned to the Jewish community. Due to falling numbers, the school was forced to close in 1996.

It has been used for art exhibitions since.
